Point and shoot laser distance meter

March 2021 Sensors & Transducers

Comtest now offers the Fluke 417D, an accurate, durable, point and shoot laser distance meter designed for indoor and outdoor, dusty and wet conditions. The easy, one-button operation means users can minimise the time taken by measuring tasks, while the Fluke brand assures the quality and reliability of measurements taken. And, with simple function buttons, three different measurement tasks can be completed quickly and easily. The extra bright laser is clearly visible, so the target point can always be seen, even if the target object is in a hard-to-reach spot, or at a long distance. The 417D has a large two-line illuminated LCD screen and three buttons for easy-to-use one-handed measurements.

417D’s features and benefits:

• Measures up to 40 m (accuracy of 2 mm).

• One-button instant distance measurement.

• Quick calculation of area (square metres).

• Continuous measurement capability.

• Battery life: 3000 measurements, improved by auto shut-off.

• 1 metre drop tested.

• IP54 dust and water resistant.
